Example (from you-know-where):
tell application "System Profiler"
set s to (XML text of document 1)
end tell
on findElementWithValue(e, v)
tell application "System Events"
repeat with i from 1 to (count XML elements of e)
if value of XML element i of e is v then
return i
end if
end repeat
end tell
error "not found"
end findElementWithValue
tell application "System Events"
set x to make new XML data with data s
set e to XML element 1 of XML element 1 of x
set e to first XML element of e where ¬
value of XML element 2 of it is "SPHardwareDataType"
set i to my findElementWithValue(e, "_items")
set e to XML element 1 of XML element (i + 1) of e
set i to my findElementWithValue(e, "machine_name")
return value of XML element (i + 1) of e -- iMacG5
end tell
m.
